Linux users, get your Windows refund today

"A couple of years ago the topic came up about a few successful
attempts at getting a Windows refund with a new PC. In each case,
the customer used their favorite version of Linux, and had no
desire to run Windows at all. It seems that this topic has
resurfaced again recently.

"The problem of the "Windows Tax" as some call it, is that PCs
are being offered by vendors with Windows, for less than systems
that have Linux. Take for example at Dell, systems are offered with
Windows or Ubuntu Linux. Granted the selection of PCs with Ubuntu
is limited, they almost always seem to be more expensive than
identical specs on systems that have Windows bundled with
them."
